Abstract

The functional results in terms of quality of life 10 to 20 years after cemented total hip arthroplasty due to primary arthrosis were evaluated in 187 patients with nonrevised hips by use of the Nottingham Health Profile questionnaire. Function was impaired compared with age- and sex-matched random control subjects.
